Joseph Goins, Pathway2Careers, recently posted a free resource in the Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice Affinity Group.
The link comes from the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) on Early College High Schools (ECHS). The key defining principle in being an ECHS is the focus on equity and removing all barriers to entry. The model has been proven to be an effective strategy and policy for states.
The first link will take you to the Technical Assistance Support site in New Mexico around ECHS, we have several models focused on equity ECHS-NM.

Connecting the Dots &
Moving the Needle Through Systems Thinking
Thursday, October 22, 2020 3 pm Eastern
(2 pm Central; 1 pm Mountain, 12 Noon Pacific; 11 am Alaska)
|
|
This session answers the question, “Why should educational leaders become systems thinkers?”
Leaders must remember that they lead in an open environment that includes exchanges across an educational system that is heavily impacted by outside forces. An educational system consists of teachers and staff, students and their families, legislators, post-secondary institutions, community members, school boards, businesses, etc, working interdependently toward sustainability. Educational systems are "open" and have permeable boundaries that permit an exchange with multiple environments. This session provides innovative practices that can have an impact on improving communications and relationships. This session will also provide the opportunity for leaders to collaborate and share best practices regarding "Connecting the Dots" and "Moving the Needle" in their organizations through Systems Thinking.
